So then this seems like the test would then be more priming centered rather than positively bias based. If it was truly a pure positive bias test then there should be no hypothesis primed through example.

I am learning to play GO right now and it is very hard to start to play effectively because there are very few instructional guides which give you strategies. Rather, each guide simply explicates the rules and lets you free to make your own hypotheses. Such an example would be a better bias test in my opinion. This is a simple fix, eliminate the example, and may give a more accurate result.
